摘要
Summary: A new species, Gypsophila afghanica is described and illustrated. It resembles G. saponarioides but has pubescent and glandular leaves, foliaceous linear bracts and shorter calyx and pedicel. The species so far is only known from a high altitude location in the Hindu Kush mountain range growing on granite slopes, and amongst granite outcrops and rocks. © 2012 The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
